Comedian Janey Godley has had to cancel her autumn tour after being readmitted to the hospital for ongoing treatment of terminal ovarian cancer. The 63-year-old from Glasgow, known for her viral dubbed videos of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings, shared with fans that she had been in the hospital for eight days battling sepsis.
Despite being given the all-clear in 2022, a later scan revealed that the cancer had returned. Her doctors have advised her to focus on recovery, forcing her to halt all work for the foreseeable future. This news comes as a disappointment to her loyal fans who were eagerly anticipating her upcoming tour.
Godley, who has been living with stage four ovarian cancer for the past few years, expressed her gratitude for the support from the Scottish NHS. She had previously announced that the treatment was keeping her terminal cancer at bay, allowing her to continue performing across the country.
Born in Glasgow in 1961, Godley has made a name for herself in the comedy world, winning awards and featuring in various radio and television shows. Despite facing setbacks in her health, she remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
Fans and colleagues have sent their well wishes to Godley during this difficult time, hoping for her speedy recovery and return to the stage.
